Why this Books Review and Recommendations Blog?

Books Made Me Complete and Here I Am To Share The Joy
Hello, I am Dr Amit Hartalkar, a practicing Physician from India. But here I am to review and give you unique book recommendations. I love reading and I feel Books made me complete. Every Book is a world in itself. And when you read a book, you become a temporary resident of this world. As you go through, some part of this world becomes yours. Unknowingly something changes inside you. And then you move on to the next book, travel to the next destination. It’s a fascinating world which I love being in. And here i am to share with you the books I loved.
Why Book Reviews and Recommendations?
Borne and brought up in rural India, my childhood provided a perfect fodder for me to grow to have a sensitive mind. At the same time there had been a demand and pressure upon me, like everyone from my generation, to excel in curricular and extra-curricular domains. And this needed focus and discipline. All my life has been a tug-of-war between these two fronts, my emotional self and a disciplined and focused one. After self building an illustrious career in academics and then in professional medicine, and as I am crossing into my forty’s, it was finally time for me to tend to my sensitive and emotional self. The close encounter with the Pandemic, being at the frontline has been a watershed moment in my life. In the post pandemic times this tender corner of my mind found solace in the company of books. Books made me smile, made me cry, made me elated and at times gave me sleepless nights. They gave the perfect ‘charging’ to my sensitive mind. And I started loving my life even more. The feeling is hard to describe in words and hence I thought I will just review and recommend the books which made an impact. And I am sure, reading these will make you feel what I have been feeling!
Let’s Walk Together…
As I continue to find books and read them, I will post here my unique insights and feelings about a particular book. And I will like to have an engagement and feedback from you all. I will love to have comments from you. Feel free to reach me on my mail any time.
